Skout is a worldwide social network, dating application and website. It is available in 180 countries and in 14 languages connecting over 500 million users. Skout is a location-based networking application commonly used by users to meet new friends and dating partners using their mobile phones. Skout is available on any device using Android and IOS operating systems. It is especially popular as it offers its users several interesting properties some of which include Nixter- a social nightlife application and Fuse-a group messaging application.

Skout uses a user’s cell phone’s global positioning system to find one another within a certain given radius of the gadget. Skout is largely a fun, flirting application that allows its users to sign up as either a teen, or an adult. This allows users to be placed in appropriate peer groups for an all inclusive and interactive experience. This has an advantage of protecting some of the younger users from social site predators who prey on innocent fun loving teenagers. Also the app allows its users the freedom to custom change their GPS settings allowing them control over their visibility to other users within their vicinity. GPS location is also only available to adult users.

It is free on App Store and allows easy downloading. It is user friendly as it allows one to sign up with their Facebook account or email address.

Nixter, Skouts nightlife app, allows users to stay up to date with nightlife events. It allows one to buy tickets and view guest lists. This app is available to users in New York City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.

In today’s blooming world of social media, and with an ever-increasing number of dating and social sites, staying relevant is what separates the wheat from the chaff. A social site designers’ biggest headache is staying relevant and interesting enough to attract users in great numbers. Though Skout was initially developed in 2007 as a social mobile web network, its two co-founders, Niklas Lindstrom and Christian Wiklund re-launched Skout in 2009 after discovering that most of the networks’ users’ were using it as a dating platform. This has allowed it to stay relevant.

Online dating is a great way to meet someone new. Thanks to the arrival of excellent dating websites and communities, the ability to contact and, hopefully, make a connection is pretty easy. Thanks to the arrival of voice chat, there is no reason to give out a phone number. Take that as another huge positive. Ten years ago or so, before voice chat was really common, giving out an actual phone number was a must.

Giving out a home or cell number is not always easy to do when having just met someone online. Voice chatting makes doing so a no-risk proposition. Just do not make the grievous error of spending too much time talking on the phone and not actually setting up the all-important coffee date. Talking too much on the phone or via text chats is not going to help the cause of meeting someone. In truth, the chances the person is going to end up super-bored really quick.

Why is this so? Is not talking making a connection? Phone/voice chat conversations serve the purpose of making an initial connection. Constantly talking on the phone changes the dynamic a lot. Everything devolves into “something to do” as opposed to a link in the chain of a developing relationship. The risk of over-exposure is great and the dynamics necessary for attraction end up diminished. Think about all this for a second. Upon spending three or four hours a week talking to each other via the internet for three weeks, what is there left for a potential couple to know about one another? And why are the two waiting so long to set up an initial date?

Early discussions are best used as a way to quickly set the stage for that initial, easy, get to know one another meeting. The online chat sessions should do wonders for helping to find the best possible matches for a face-to-face meeting.

Using a really great mobile dating app further helps the cause. Skout provides a fantastic app on instagram and associated online dating community for those using their mobile phone to navigate the social waters to locate a paramour. Chatting with the best person is only possible when someone is able to actually find an individual that fits the bill. Skout could be the way to meet that unique someone.

Meeting does eventually mean seeing the person on a real date at a nice location. Use the online dating community to start the proverbial ball rolling and not an end unto itself. Once out and about and going on one coffee date after the other, the chances of finding a great match really increase.
